THE ULTIMATE ROCK"RIFF"

[tim west]

If that's the direction we're going now then I'm gonna vote for "I Will Always Love You", by Dolly Pardon

Now there's a woman who's grown into her body

g & r sweet child o' mine.

Agree totally with that one! Took me over a year to perfect that whereas Slash probably 'knocked it up' after 2 bottles of JD and 60 marlboro. (And 20 mins playing about with his guitar)

i cant actually beleive none of you ancient buggers have even mentioned any jimi.

red house by the man himself a pure classic peice.

while were on the "27" club


L A woman, the doors

a peice of my heart, janis joplin.

you know your right, nirvana.

wasnt keith moon the first member???

 

[Soggy_weetabix]

Doors... Spanish Caravan?
Nirvana... close but nowhere near to Slash's changes
Janis???? None too memorable

Jimi? Great guitairist but never put a guitar through its paces like Slash has done

Thrash metal is all very well but it's just not yer mainstream rock!

whats that got to do with anything? a riff is a riff is a riff.

Thinking along the lines of suchlike~
AC/DC~For those about to rock(we salute you)

hmmm ok but it involves brian johnson and is by default inferior to the bon scott stuff......i would wager this is a better ac/dc riff and certainly a far better song.

we understand that your a big gnr / slash fan but do you really need to take the same amount of drugs that he does, jimi was and still is regarded as the greatest guitarist.

tom morello is better than slash, dont get me wrong the fluffy headed druggy is a good one but nowhere as good as your little rosey specs seem to think.

and nirvana changed music as we knew it, so not that bad really id say....

With all due respect to your appreciation of a great rock band, but when it comes to riffing,neither BON nor BRIAN figure in the equation, ANGUS IS THE MAN!
